Abstract:
Complex problem solving (CPS) refers to a set of higher-order capacities that allow an individual to interact with a dynamic environment and solve complex problems. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate Sokoban, a game-based assessment of the planning-execution stage of the CPS framework proposed by PISA 2012. The psychometric properties of this instrument were examined in a large sample of Chinese students (n = 1145) ranging from elementary to tertiary education. The results supported the two-faceted nature of Sokoban, as well as providing preliminary evidence about criterion-related and predictive validity for the planning-execution stages of complex problem solving. These empirical results lend support to the validity of this game-based assessment, as well as its practical implications in educational settings.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
